Definitions

  • the present invention relates to nutritional products being supplemented with whole grain.
  • the present invention relates to nutritional products which are supplemented with hydrolysed whole grain, where neither taste or viscosity nor organoleptic properties of the nutritional product have been compromised.
  • Whole grains are also a recognised source of dietary fibers, phytonutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. According to the definition given by the American Association of Cereal Chemists (AACC), whole grains, and food made from whole grains, consist of the entire grain seed.
  • the entire grain seed comprises the germ, the endosperm and the bran. It is usually referred to as the kernel.
  • Nutritional products are a good vehicle for delivering whole grain and to increase the whole grain content of a product or a serving, it is of course possible to increase the serving size. But this is not desirable as it results in a greater calorie intake.
  • Another difficulty in just increasing the whole grain content of the product is that it usually impacts on physical properties such as the taste, texture and the overall appearance of the nutritional product (organoleptic parameters), as well as its processability.
  • the consumer is not willing to compromise on nutritional products organoleptic properties, in order to increase his daily whole grain intake.
  • taste, texture and overall appearance are such organoleptic properties.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,282,319 relates to a process for the preparation of hydrolyzed products from whole grain, and such derived products.
  • the process includes an enzymatic treatment in an aqueous medium with a protease and an amylase.
  • the obtained product may be added to different types of products.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,282,319 describe a complete degradation of the proteins present in the whole grain.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,686,123 discloses a cereal suspension generated by treatment with both an alpha-amylase and a beta-amylase both specifically generating maltose units and have no glucanase effect.

  • FIG. 4 shows size exclusion chromatography (SEC) of ⁇ -Glucan and arabinoxylan molecular weight profiles without enzyme addition (plain line) and after incubation with MATS L (dotted line).
  • SEC size exclusion chromatography
  • the inventors of the present invention have surprisingly found that by treating the whole grain component with an alpha-amylase and optionally with a protease the whole grain will become less viscous and the following mixing into the nutritional product may be easier. This results in the possibility to increase the amount of whole grains in the product. Furthermore, the alpha-amylase treatment also results in a reduced need for adding sweetener such as sucrose to the nutritional products.

Because most vitamins cannot be made in the body, we must obtain them through the diet. Many people say that they feel more energetic after consuming vitamins, but vitamins are not a source of energy (calories). Vitamins are best consumed through a varied diet rather than as a supplement because there is little chance of taking too high a dose.

  • Whole grain components may be provided in a variety of forms such as ground, flaked, cracked or other forms, as is commonly known in the milling industry.
  • a hydrolyzed whole grain composition refers to enzymatically digested whole grain components or a whole grain component digested by using at least an alpha-amylase, which alpha-amylase shows no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state.
  • the hydrolyzed whole grain composition may be further digested by the use of a protease, which protease shows no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state.

  • no hydrolytic activity or “devoid of hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers” may encompass up to 5% degradation of the dietary fibers, such as up to 3%, such as up to 2% and such as up to 1% degradation. Such degradation may be unavoidable if high concentrations or extensive incubation times are used.
  • In the active state refers to the capability of the enzyme or enzyme mixture to perform hydrolytic activity, and is the state of the enzyme before it is inactivated. Inactivation may occur both by degradation and denaturation.
  • the nutritional product according to the invention may comprise a protease which shows no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state.
  • the advantage of adding a protease according to the invention is that the viscosity of the hydrolyzed whole grain may be further lowered, which may also result in a decrease in the viscosity of the final product.
  • the nutritional product comprises said protease or fragment thereof at a concentration of 0.0001 to 5% (w/w) by weight of the total whole grain content, such as 0.01-3%, such as 0.01-1%, such as 0.05-1%, such as 0.1-1%, such as 0.1-0.7%, or such as 0.1-0.5%.
  • the optimal concentration of added proteases depends on several factors.
  • addition of protease during production of the hydrolyzed whole grain may result in a bitter off-taste
  • addition of protease may be considered as a tradeoff between lower viscosity and off-taste.
  • amount of protease may also depend on the incubation time during production of the hydrolyzed whole grain. For example a lower concentration of protease may be used if the incubation time is increased.
  • Proteases are enzymes allowing the hydrolysis of proteins. They may be used to decrease the viscosity of the hydrolyzed whole grain composition. Alcalase 2.4 L (EC 3.4.21.62), from Novozymes is an example of a suitable enzyme. Depending on the incubation time and concentration of protease a certain amount of the proteins from the hydrolyzed whole grain component may be hydrolyzed to amino acid and peptide fragments. Thus, in an embodiment 1-10% of the proteins from the whole grain composition is hydrolyzed, such as 2-8%, e.g.

  • the degraded proteins are whole grain proteins, such as gluten proteins, globulins, albumins and glycoproteins.
  • Amylase (EC 3. 2. 1. 1) is an enzyme classified as a saccharidase: an enzyme that cleaves polysaccharides. It is mainly a constituent of pancreatic juice and saliva, needed for the breakdown of long-chain carbohydrates such as starch, into smaller units.
  • alpha-amylase is used to hydrolyse gelatinized starch in order to decrease the viscosity of the hydrolyzed whole grain composition.
  • Validase HT 425 L, Validase RA from Valley Research, Fungamyl from Novozymes and MATS from DSM are examples of alpha-amylases suitable for the present invention. Those enzymes show no activity towards the dietary fibers in the processing conditions used (duration, enzyme concentrations). On the contrary, e.g. BAN from Novozymes degrades dietary fibers besides starch into low molecular weight fibers or oligosaccharides, see also example 3.
  • the enzymes show no activity towards the dietary fibers when the enzyme concentration is below 5% (w/w), such as below, 3% (w/w), e.g. below 1% (w/w), such as below 0.75% (w/w), e.g. below 0.5% (w/w).
  • the alpha-amylase or fragments thereof is a mixed sugar producing alpha-amylase, including glucose producing activity, when in the active state. It has been found that some alpha-amylases both comprise glucose producing activity while having no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state. By having an alpha-amylase which comprises glucose producing activity an increased sweetness may be obtained, since glucose has almost twice the sweetness of maltose. In an embodiment of the present invention a reduced amount of external sugar source needs to be added separately to the nutritional product when a hydrolysed whole grain composition according to the present invention is used. When an alpha-amylase comprising glucose producing activity is used in the enzyme composition, it may become possible to dispense or at least reduce the use of other external sugar sources or non-sugar sweeteners.

  • examples of such external sugar or non-sugar sources could be sucrose, lactose, and artificial sweeteners.
  • Amyloglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.3) is an enzyme able to release glucose residues from starch, maltodextrins and maltose by hydrolyzing glucose units from the non-reduced end of the polysaccharide chain. The sweetness of the preparation increases with the increasing concentration of released glucose.
  • the nutritional product further comprises an amyloglucosidase or fragments thereof. It may be advantageous to add an amyloglucosidase to the production of the hydrolyzed whole grain composition, since the sweetness of the preparation increases with the increasing concentration of released glucose. It may also be advantageous if the amyloglucosidase did not influence health properties of the whole grains, directly or indirectly.
  • the amyloglucosidase shows no hydrolytic activity towards dietary fibers when in the active state.
  • An interest of the invention, and particularly of the process for preparing the nutritional product according to the invention, is that it allows reducing the sugar (e.g. sucrose) content of the nutritional product when compared to products described in the prior art.

In general such produced enzymes will in the present context fall under the category “exogenic enzymes”. Such enzymes may be added to a product during production to add a certain enzymatic effect to a substance. Similar, in the present context, when an enzyme is disclaimed from the present invention such disclaimer refers to exogenic enzymes. In the present context such enzymes e.g. provide enzymatic degradation of starch and proteins to increase viscosity. In relation to the process of the invention it is to be understood that such enzymes may both be in solution or attached to a surface, such as immobilized enzymes. In the latter method the proteins may not form part of the final product.
  • the action of the alpha-amylase results in a useful sugar profile which may affect taste and reduce the amount of external sugar or sweetener to be added to the final product.

  • starch processing enzyme used is a glucose generating alpha-amylase
  • a larger fraction of the end product will be in the form of glucose compared to the use of an alpha-amylase specifically generating maltose units. Since glucose has a higher sweetness than maltose, this may result in that the addition of a further sugar source (e.g. sucrose) can be dispensed. This advantage may be further pronounced if the ratio is lowered by the conversion of the maltose present in the hydrolyzed whole grain to glucose (one maltose unit is converted to two glucose units).
  • the maltose to glucose ratio may be further lowered if an amyloglucosidase is included in the enzyme composition since such enzymes also generates glucose units.
  • the enzyme composition comprises an glucose isomerase a fraction of the glucose is changed to fructose which has an even higher sweetness than glucose.

  • the nutritional product has a content of dietary fibers in the range of 0.1-10% by weight of the nutritional product, preferably, in the range of 0.5-3%, even more preferably in the range of 1-2% (w/w).
  • a nutritional product according to the invention may be provided with high amounts of dietary fibers by the addition of the hydrolyzed whole grain component provided by the present invention. This may be done due to the unique setup of the process according to the present invention.
  • Dietary fibers are the edible parts of plants that are not broken down by digestion enzymes. Dietary fibers are fermented in the human large intestine by the microflora. There are two types of fibers: soluble fibers and insoluble fibers. Both soluble and insoluble dietary fibers can promote a number of positive physiological effects, including a good transit through the intestinal tract which helps to prevent constipation, or a feeling of fullness. Health authorities recommend a consumption of between 20 and 35 g per day of fibers, depending on the weight, gender, age and energy intake.
  • Soluble fibers are dietary fibers that undergo complete or partial fermentation in the large intestine.
  • Examples of soluble fibers from cereals include beta-glucans, arabinoxylans, arabinogalactans and resistant starch type 2 and 3, and oligosaccharides deriving from the latters.
  • Soluble fibers from other sources include pectins, acacia gum, gums, alginate, agar, polydextrose, inulins and galacto-oligosaccharides for instance.
  • Some soluble fibers are called prebiotics, because they are a source of energy for the beneficial bacteria (e.g. Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli) present in the large intestine.
  • Further benefits of soluble fibers include blood sugar control, which is important in diabetes prevention, control of cholesterol, or risk reduction of cardiovascular disease.
  • Insoluble fibers are the dietary fibers that are not fermented in the large intestine or only slowly digested by the intestinal microflora.
  • examples of insoluble fibers include celluloses, hemicelluloses, resistant starch type 1 and lignins.
  • Further benefits of insoluble fibers include promotion of the bowel function through stimulation of the peristalsis, which causes the muscles of the colon to work more, become stronger and function better. There is also evidence that consumption of insoluble fibers may be linked to a reduced risk of gut cancer.
  • the total solid content of the nutritional product according to the invention may vary.
  • the total solid content is in the range of 1-50% by weight of the nutritional product, e.g. less than 50, such as less than 40%, such as less than 25% or such as less than 10%.

  • the nutritional product has a content of sugar or a non-sugar sweetener of less than 12% by weight of the nutritional product, such as less than 10%, less than 7%, less than 5%, less than 3%, less than 1% or such as 0%. Since the hydrolyzed whole grain composition supplements the nutritional product with a source of carbohydrates, such as glucose and maltose, the nutritional product is also sweetened from a natural sugar source different from the external sugar source. Thus, the amount of added external sweetener may be limited. Sucrose is a widely used sweetener in food products, however others sugars may also be used.
  • the sugar is a monosaccharide and/or a disaccharide and/or an oligosaccharide.
  • the monosaccharide is glucose, galactose, dextrose, fructose or any combination thereof.
  • the disaccharide is sucrose, maltose, lactose or any combination thereof.
  • the water activity of the nutritional products may vary.
  • the nutritional product has a water activity above 0.35, such as above 0.5, such as above 0.7, or such as above 0.8. Since water activity reflects water content it often also reflects the viscosity of the products. Thus, an increased water activity may result in a lowered viscosity.
  • Water activity or a w is a measurement of water content. It is defined as the vapor pressure of a liquid divided by that of pure water at the same temperature; therefore, pure distilled water has a water activity of exactly one. As the temperature increases a w typically increases, except in some products with crystalline salt or sugar. At a w -values above 0.65 crunchy products traditionally looses crunchyness.
